E-Bay has recently changed their Feedback system where Sellers can
suffer penalties if anything besides a "5" is left and you may be
hurting your Favorite Sellers without knowing it. Here are these
Penalties E-Bay can impose: *Any rating below 4.9: Seller pays an
additional 5% in fee to sell on E-Bay *Any rating below 4.8:
Seller pays an additional 10% in fees to sell on E-Bay, and
seller's listings are demoted in E-Bay’s search - making them harder
to find *Any rating below 4.6: Seller pays an additional 5% in fees
to sell on E-Bay and loses powerseller status. Listings are further
demoted in E-Bay’s search *Any rating below 4.3:
Penalty -Seller's listings are moved the the last pages of search
results *Any rating below 4.1: Penalty - Seller is no longer allowed
to list on E-Bay (
a 4.1 rating) E-Bay tells you a "4" rating means the item was
accurately described, that you were satisfied with the seller's
communication, the item was shipped quickly, and the shipping charges
were reasonable - which a normal person would say is a good thing.
However, E-Bay treats a "4" as a request to terminate the sellers's
E-Bay account, charge the seller more, and make it difficult for bidders
to find that Seller's Items.
